as for another team that can beat the Pats, both the 49ers and Giants have the defense to do it.

I'm probably over simplifying things, but all the teams, other then the Patriots, seem pretty similar to me. I think anything can happen in the remaining games. Well, the Chiefs obviously aren't going to win, so not anything...

My super bowl pick is the Ravens vs. the Giants.
Giants win 24-21
I hope The Broncos keep Tim Tebow. Maybe they can get another defensive weapon and get a good back.

New England has the ball now with about 2:46 left to be played. I guess that the Ravens might have lost it already since that they just let New England have the ball after a turnover on downs. Though anything can happen from now to the end of the game. That being since that 49'ers vs Saints game last week went down to 0:09 left in the game. But hey , New England will have a tough time though if they play the 49'ers in the Super Bowl. I mean that since just look at how strong the 49'ers' defense is and you know that defense wins championship.

Patriots win. Good defense on both sides, but the Ravens had a couple mistakes at the end, most important one being the missed field goal.

Well, that was something.... Bill Bellicheck is just in disbelief

[deathseer]

Looks like Brady is heading to the Big Dance.

Anyone else think that last drop was a catch, possession and fumble? Should have at least warranted a review imo.

Like Xavier Beitia before him, Cundiff went wide left.

Now the 49ers are going to win their game.

Yay, the patriots won the one time i root for them. Now we just need a Patriots vs. Giants superbowl.......i was rooting for Pats vs. Giants or Harbaughs, but yea, go giants for the revenge bowl!
Edit:however, it would be interesting to see brady vs. hometown team, but i'd rather the rematch

[sceptile33]

THAT'S why I would hate to be a field goal kicker. It's too bad, I thought a Ravens-'49ers matchup would be interesting.

I got the Giants beating the Pats. Judging from what I have seen of the pats and the giants this postseason, I think the Giants could roll them.

Yea, poor kickers dont get attention for what they do right, they only get attention for when they screw up. Can't be a fun job

[TheWatersGreatGuardian]

How many think that kicked just lost his job :P

[foxyman1167]

The Ravens kicker doesn't deserve all the blame, the receiver who had the ball stripped from his hands that easily deserves some too, but probably no one will.

Kicker should still make something that short.

But I still think that that drop should have been reviewed. IMO that was a TD.

From what I saw, he took at least two steps, maybe more.

Did you see the Rams-Browns game earlier this year? Phil Dawson missed a field goal from basically extra-point distance. In my opinion, the Browns actually lost because they couldn't get into the end zone.

[foxyman1167]

The Ravens are gonna be kicking themselves for not going for the win now instead of the FG. Great sportsmanship from Flacco though, wasn't screaming at the kicker.

Which is a TD

If the Patriots do beat the 49ers in the Super Bowl, expect the kick-off game next season to be the rematch, since the Patriots are to host the 49ers next season. This will allow the Oakland Raiders to host either New Orleans or Tampa Bay on the following Sunday, per NFL rules explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_on_...rs_and_Raiders

If the 49ers win the Super Bowl, they could potentially host an AFC team, probably Miami, in the opening Thursday game. Sometimes, to circumvent the blackout policy, the 49ers or Raiders will have one of their interconference home games scheduled for primetime, as with the Steelers-49ers game this year.
